The Buick Century is one of the most successful vehicles produced by the automaker, remaining in production since 1936 for several generations. This particular vehicle is from the second generation of the Century, featuring a large and powerful V8 that put the Century among Buick's performance vehicles. Paired with an elegant design, it's no surprise that it became an instant classic. This particular model of the Century is more notable, being a rare trim often called a 'four holer,' thanks to its four holes per side in each side of the hood, denoting the car being an eight-cylinder model. Surviving for nearly seventy years, this Century features some upgraded parts, along with some modern comforts, including power steering, and remains in excellent condition. Owning a 1956 Buick Century Model 66R 2-Door Riviera Hardtop isn't just a purchase; it's an investment into protecting a piece of American automotive history and a collector's dream, making this car one that you shouldn't miss out on.
The design of the second generation Century is a masterpiece of timeless elegance, without a doubt. Sleek lines that glide from front to back, paired with some sharp angles and lines accentuated with distinctive chrome accents, make this car an absolute stunner. The Emerald Green paint, which the current owner reports to have been repainted roughly 15 years ago, is a perfect selection, showing a hint of sophistication and luxury at the same time. Climbing inside, the theme of elegance and vintage style continues in the black and cream-toned interior. The big, spacious cabin is a joy to be in and remains true to its vintage roots. As you settle into the seats, you'll welcome the great visibility of the exterior and the simple and honest 'American' feel of the Century's interior. However, the experience does come at a minimal compromise, with the original radio of the car not working at the moment. You'll also be disappointed if you're looking for air conditioning.
But whatever shortcomings the interior might have are all forgotten when the 322ci "Fireball" V8 springs to life. Paired with a 2-Speed Dynaflow automatic transmission, this Buick's engine delivered performance with style. The current engine has had a few components upgraded as well, including a recently replaced 4-barrel carburetor, fuel pump, and battery, meaning this Century is ready to live on for many more miles to come, should you claim her for your garage.

Buick’s midsize offering from 1973 to 2004, the Regal, entered the market just as the Malaise Era was getting started. So, instead of moaning about the stringent emissions and economy regulations, Buick made it a bit more upmarket than segment contenders. Then, the second generation came about in 1978, bringing with it fresh styling and a station wagon body style. Then, in 1982, the Grand National trim came out, to celebrate Buick winning the Manufacturers Cup in 1981 and 1982 for the NASCAR Winston Cup Grand National. Buick proudly advertised the car as “What wins on Sunday sells on Monday”. Up for sale today is a 1985 Buick Regal Grand National, but one that’s been extensively modified. The car pushes a four-figure horsepower digit at the wheels, and the current owner proudly tells us that it does a 5.2 in the 1/8th at 131mph. Want more figures? How about an 8.4 in the quarter mile, passing the line at a staggering 161mph? Furthermore, this build has just 4,500 miles on it, and comes with some creature comforts that make it a viable regular car when required.
Cars from 1950 are getting rarer. During that time, automakers went above and beyond to produce works of art on wheels. Classic car enthusiasts know well enough that these icons are worth preserving, but there is a cost, namely convenience. That's when the topic of restoration comes up. Users can add modern amenities that make everyday life with the car more comfortable while still enjoying the nostalgia of the bygone era. This 1950 Buick Super is an excellent example of a classic that has been tastefully restored. According to reports, it has only been 2,000 miles since its full restoration.
If one were to hear the brand name Buick, what would spring to mind are some of the most impressive classic cars in history. An interesting fact about Buick is that it was among the first American automobile brands and was the company that established General Motors. It was founded more than a century ago and granted the world with fascinating automobiles that are coveted today. The Buick Special, otherwise known as the Series 40, is a model line produced by the company that was usually its lowest-priced model. In the year 1940, Buick marketed their year lineup as new and improved, and our subject, the 1940 Buick Special Series 40 Coupe, was among them.
Modeled straight after a concept car, Larry Shinoda’s Mako Shark III to be precise, the C3 or third-gen Corvette stunned America when it hit the stands in 1968. Here was a car that traded the C2’s dainty looks for something truly muscular and futuristic. No surprise, then, that a C3 Corvette is on many a petrolhead’s list of ultimate must-haves. Therefore, we can fulfill one person’s dream, by offering this 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for sale. With a reported 18,559 original miles, this car is truly a rare fish to catch.
With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
